Initiatives

, solidarity campaigns, and research products (CIVICUS
Monitor, State of Civil Society Report
) are valued.

communications, and especially the
use of multiple
languages,
need improvement.
CIVICUS is having an impact with research/data on civic space, global campaigns and Global South’s positioning, especially on funding for civil society.
CIVICUS should offer more capacity-building opportunities, enhance
networking at the regional level and provide more small funding for small NGOs.
